Home Visits

Please phone us before 11am if possible, if you need a doctor to visit your home. If you have an emergency you may ring at any time, you may sometimes be advised to call a 999 ambulance for certain conditions.

The doctor will call you first to confirm your home address and allow us to order any visits according to priority. We visit people who are housebound, or who have terminal illness.

Please note that lack of transport is not a valid reason for requesting a visit by the doctor and a doctor can see 4 patients in the time it takes to complete one home visit.
